Shouldn't property tax payment reduce federal tax due just like mortgage interest (itemized deductions)?

When I entered my property tax payment made in 2016, my Federal Tax Due did not reduce at all. I expected it to drop just like when I entered in mortgage interest. What gives?? MFJ, itemized deductions
